@ Hilabeans- I couldn't have said it any better. Thank you.
@ Craig- I'm with you brother. My most expensive snake to date only cost me $400. I'm only going big on the BHB because it's a dream snake for me. $1700 could buy a lot of other more responsible things but we only live once right?! And we deserve to have some of the nicer things we want as long as our responsibilities are met.
